I remember when I added fish 15 minutes after I had set up my 10 gallon tank, so I wonder if there are people out there who have done some pretty bonehead things while cycling?
Wow. That's pretty unintelligent if I do say so myself! LolWas using the syringe that I used to dose the ammonia to get water for my tests. Took the longest time for me to figure out why it was reading 8+.

This is like, story four for me lol
Yes, Bettas can live in pretty bad conditions....That reminds me of when I had a Betta in a bowl and I once Week would take everything out and cleaned it. Believe it or not it lived for four years.
